Question Alignment Question

I have a lowered G with 20's. I just had cusco front arms put in and the intense power rear camber arms installed. I have a life time alignment at Firestone so I took it to get aligned, only to find out that they wanted to charge me like 200 bucks extra because of the new stuff!! The only reason i got the lifetime was because i thought they would be able to do it there whenever I wanted. Should I try another Firestone maybe??? I live in the Los Angeles Area, anyone else have upgraded suspension and use Firestone???

My firestone said that basicaly the lifetime alignment is attached to the frame of the vehicle: As long as it's the same car, I can "come back every 5 minutes", regardless of wheel changes...

Same here. I have a lifted Jeep with 33" tires and a 4" lift. They never give me a hard time. They just align it.
I also bought the life time alignment for my G.

My local firestone told me there was a $75 charge/time with the lifetime because my car was lowered with camber kits on my prelude. I told them to F off and took it to a real alignment shop

Yes, you found a local G guy that works at a firestone, wish I had that here. What type of sensors do they use? The clamp on type?
